14:1 當暗拉非作示拿王、亞略作以拉撒王、基大老瑪作以攔王、提達作戈印王的時候、

14:3 這五王都在西訂谷會合．西訂谷就是鹽海。

14:10 西訂谷有許多石漆坑．所多瑪王、和蛾摩拉王逃跑、有掉在坑裡的、其餘的人都往山上逃跑。
14:11 四王就把所多瑪和蛾摩拉所有的財物、並一切的糧食、都擄掠去了。
14:12 又把亞伯蘭的侄兒羅得、和羅得的財物擄掠去了．當時、羅得正住在所多瑪。
14:13 有一個逃出來的人、告訴希伯來人亞伯蘭．亞伯蘭正住在亞摩利人幔利的橡樹那裡．幔利和以實各、並亞乃都是弟兄、曾與亞伯蘭聯盟。
14:14 亞伯蘭聽見他侄兒〔原文作弟兄〕被擄去、就率領他家裡生養的精練壯丁三百一十八人、直追到但．
14:15 便在夜間、自己同僕人分隊殺敗敵人、又追到大馬色左邊的何把．
14:16 將被擄掠的一切財物奪回來、連他侄兒羅得和他的財物、以及婦女人民、也都奪回來。
14:17 亞伯蘭殺敗基大老瑪、和與他同盟的王回來的時候、所多瑪王出來、在沙微谷迎接他、沙微谷就是王谷。
聖經靈修版 :
亞伯蘭以弱勝強，為甚麼會有這種不可思議的事出現？
14:4-16 當時，大多數城邑都有自己的君王。君王之間的戰爭和競爭是司空見慣之事，而被征服的城邑要向得勝的君王進貢。除了聖經以外，我們無法從其他地方知道關於基大老瑪的事，但他顯然是一位強大的君王。包括所多瑪在內，有五個城邑向他進貢了十二年。後來，這五個城邑聯盟背叛他，不向他進貢。但基大老瑪馬上出擊，再次征服他們。他打敗所多瑪時，擄掠了羅得、他全家和他的財物。亞伯蘭只率領318人追趕基大老瑪的軍隊，在大馬士革附近追上他們。靠著神的幫助，他打敗了他們，救回羅得、他的一家並他的財物。
不被眼前事物所誘惑，憑信心仰望神的應許，好像有點空泛……
14:12 羅得貪求一切最好的東西，使他陷入罪惡的網羅。多得財富和成就的渴望，反而令他失去自由和享受。他被基大老瑪擄去，可能會受到嚴刑、奴役或面對死亡。我們也像他那樣，常被引誘去做不該做的事，或是去不當去的地方。我們所渴望的美好前途往往會引誘我們，奴役我們，甚至俘擄我們。
亞伯蘭擁有勇氣與謹慎，叫他戰勝敵人，我又以甚麼來作爭戰的準備？
14:14-16 這件事描繪出亞伯蘭的兩個特點：（1）他從神得到勇氣，能攻擊強大的仇敵。（2）他作好準備，下功夫訓練家裡的壯丁，去應付可能的衝突。我們不知道神會在甚麼時候呼召我們去完成艱巨的任務，我們應當像亞伯蘭一樣，作好準備，回應神的呼召。
亞伯蘭能夠當機立斷，解決問題。在相同之處境下，我會作甚麼回應？
14:14-16 亞伯蘭聽到羅得被擄後，立刻去救他。本來，不惹禍上身是最穩妥的，但是羅得遇到危難，亞伯蘭就立刻採取行動。為了幫助別人，有時我們也會陷入痛苦和混亂之中，但我們應當像亞伯蘭對羅得一樣，願意立刻採取行動。

羅得被擄與被亞伯蘭救出（14：1－17）
8. 第14章所記述的事件發生在約主前二千年，其中所列舉的
城、國、和王在世俗歷史書中可找到對應。雖然第14章準確
地記錄了一個歷史事件，但這並不是這段經文的真正目的。
神是要向亞伯蘭顯明他將賜能力使亞伯蘭（和其後裔）戰勝
各樣強敵，保衛迦南（應許之地）；這貫穿在整個以色列歷
史中。神確實是他子民的“盾牌”（見15：1）。
9. 羅得陷入困境是因他與邪惡的人聯繫過密。這是很好的教
訓！人有可能在不當的時間、不當的地方和不當的人在一起。
10. 第14章中充滿了難以記憶的王的名字，但我們至少可以總結
一下所發生的事件。四個美索布達米亞地區的王（14：1，特
別注意“士拿”是在巴比倫）進攻巴勒斯坦，並攻擊約旦平
原（14：2）的五個結盟的王，那時五國均位於死海的南端（西
訂谷）。
11. 這五個王一度曾是美索布達米亞的一個王（基大老瑪）的附
屬國，不久前卻背叛了他（14：4）。基大老瑪與其同盟王從
北方攻打約旦平原諸王（14：5－7），南下直取西訂谷。
12. 這五王“在西訂谷擺陣與同他們交戰”（14：8），但很快就
被進攻的四王的強大勢力打敗了。所多瑪和蛾摩拉被洗劫一
空（14：9－11）。因為羅得選擇了住在這一帶，所以他和
他的家人也被擄去了（14：12）。
13. 當亞伯蘭（當時住在希伯侖）得知羅得被擄的消息後，他就
率領他家裡的顯然受過訓練精壯318人，和一些盟軍一起，
直追五王到但，並打敗了他們（14：13－15）。顯然，這五
王已從死海南端繞向西，然後沿着約旦河谷北上，正在準備
沿着“國王大道”回老家。（中文版註：“國王大道”是約
旦河西岸的一條古老的平坦大路，是傳統的貿易通道。）
14. 亞伯蘭大獲全勝，他同時救出了羅得以及他的家人和財物。
約旦河谷的五王所力不能及的，亞伯蘭靠神的力量就作到
了！
15. 此時亞伯蘭被稱為“希伯來人亞伯蘭”，即，一個可以區別
出來的族群或民族的領袖（14：13）。
